Tool School makes DIY cheap

A. Unless you are regularly using your tools, it makes the most sense, both environmentally and financially, to rent.

The ReSource Tool Library provides cost-effective tool lending services to all members. Whether you're fixing something broken, building a project or remodeling your home, the Tool Library can help you accomplish these tasks without having to purchase thousands of dollars worth of equipment.

The ReSource Tool Library aspires to deliver affordable tool-lending services, promote sharing of community resources, provide bulk tool access to civic and community service organizations, foster and support tool-based volunteerism and public service projects, reduce community waste and environmental footprint, and invest in our local economy.

The library offers more than 2,500 hand, electric, and gas-power tools that members can rent for a low cost as long as a project requires.

Annual membership requires a small fee: $25 for individuals, $40 for families, $100 for non-profit businesses (tax exempt ID required), and $150 for all other businesses.

All non-powered tools rent for under $5 a day. All corded power tools rent for under $30 a day, and all gas-powered tools rent for under $25 a day.

Library memberships are available to anyone over 18 years of age, and by completing a membership application at resourcetoollibrary.org. To purchase a membership and see the tools, visit the ReSource Tool Library at the ReSource yard, 6400 Arapahoe Road, Boulder.
